Hi Chowdhury M., great to have you with us! Phds have two career paths within Nokia, one path is pure research with Nokia Bell Labs, while the other path is applied R&D. Bells labs focuses on strategy and technology enablers, including patents.
On the other hand, applied R&D projects include but are not limited to AR/VR in digital twins, GenAI projects, etc. which translate to customer use cases and Proof of concepts (PoCs) that eventually get productized.
